How to Use the Different Types of Menus and Control Panels

The TV’s menu system has three types of screens: menus, control panels, and choice lists. You use the buttons on the remote or the front panel to access the menu system and make changes to the settings.

The following pages explain how to use the different types of menus to adjust the features of your TV.

Tip

Feel free to explore the menu system. If you’re ever unsure where you are in the menu system, or you’re just plain tired of exploring, press CLEAR to remove the menus from the screen and start over again.

Menus

The first menu is called the Main menu. Press MENU on the remote or on the front panel to bring up the Main menu.

Menus take you to another menu or a control panel. There are two ways to select a choice in a menu:

•Use your CHAN and VOL buttons on your remote control to highlight your choice, and press MENU.

•Press a number button on the remote. For example, in the Main menu press 3 to go straight to the Screen menu.

Exiting a menu

There are three ways to exit a menu:

•Highlight Exit and press MENU.

•Press 0 on the remote.

•Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the screen and you return to TV viewing.

Control Panels

Control panels allow you to adjust the default settings on many features of your TV. You can choose a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or brightness. There are three types of control panels: sliders, numeric entry and choice lists.
